Help for Trucking Accident Victims in Wyoming
Because semi-trucks weigh so much, trucking accidents can be devastating, causing serious injury or even death. While many truck drivers abide by the law and are safe drivers, accidents can occur when traffic laws or safety regulations are violated or when companies do not use good judgment. Sometimes truck drivers are speeding to meet deadlines. Sometimes drivers work excessively long hours, beyond authorized schedules. Sometimes drivers rely on drugs to fight off fatigue, which clouds their judgement.
Semis, buses, tractor-trailers and 18-wheelers weigh in excess of 10,000 pounds and can carry loads of more than 75,000 pounds. When a large truck crashes into the average car or SUV, the physics are enormous, usually demolishing the car and causing serious injuries to passengers. It is estimated that 10% of all people involved in large truck accidents die.
Preparing A Truck Accident Case Takes Expertise
We work hard and fight vigorously to make sure that our clients recover the compensation they deserve. Our goal is to uncover the real cause of the accident by employing recognized experts who carefully investigate the accident scene, interview witnesses, take photographs and find the evidence about the choices made by the truck driver and trucking company.
When useful, we use sophisticated accident reconstruction technology to recreate the crash. Trucking accidents can involve multiple vehicles so a comprehensive reconstruction is often required to determine exactly what happened with each vehicle involved. Once we have substantiated the facts and established liability, we get to work devising a trial strategy.
